A cinder running track runs around the stadium. This was used in the 1960s for athletics meetings and Kent county schools championships and from 1968 by the City of Rochester Athletics Club.[1] The central area of the stadium was used for rugby league by the Medway Dragons.[1][2] The club now uses the playings fields attached to the stadium[3] which are also used for association football[4] and field hockey and were used in the past for cricket.
Kent County Cricket Club used Garrison Ground 2, which was situated to the east of the stadium, for first-class and limited overs cricket matches between 1937 and 1972. The club has also used other pitches on the Chatham Lines, including Garrison 1 Cricket Ground and New Brompton Cricket Ground.[5][6]
